DaVinci Resolve

In DaVinci Resolve you can apply CineDream in the Edit and Color pages.

In the Edit Page look for CineDream in the Effects panel and drag it to a clip. For multiple clips, select the clips first, then drag the CineDream effect to them.

Then go to the Inspector panel, look for CineDream and click on Open Controls to launch CineDream.

In the Color Page you can apply CineDream to a node, then clicking Open Controls to launch CineDream.

After applying CineDream to the clips, another way to open it besides the Open Controls button is to open CineDream as a standalone app and choose Open a grading session within host. This will open a session containing the clips in your timeline to which you applied CineDream to.

Once you are happy with your corrections and grade it is time to send them back to Resolve. Select Apply from the top right corner, then you can minimize or close CineDream. Back to Resolve, go to the Inspector panel and hit the Apply button in the CineDream effect. The grade will be applied to the clip.

In Resolve, CineDream has two pages instead of three, Base Correction and Final Grading. This is because Resolve can’t send multiple clips at a time to CineDream. To quickly move on to the next clip, just select the clip in Resolve, switch back to CineDream (use cmd/ctrl + tab to quickly toggle between apps) and click Refresh for the new clip to load.

Alternatively you can use CineDream at a group or timeline level as a color management/film emulation/grading tool. You can start by adding CineDream to a group, setting the input color profile, film emulation and final grade, then go back at a clip level to use Resolve’s native tool for base correction and matching.

Additionally you can export stills from video clips using the Share Button at the top right corner.

When selecting Export or Batch Export you’ll be taken to the Export Image Panel. There you can choose the File Name, Location, Aspect Ratio, Format and Resolution. The Aspect section let’s you crop the image either manually or with one of 4 presets of commonly used aspect ratios. On the preview window on the right you can customize the crop.
